Hi everyone, I’m completely lost and need some advice 😞

I applied for the DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh on 13 May 2025. After submitting the additional documents, the status changed to Pending Approval on 15 May, but until now (7 June) there’s been no update.

My Cambodia TR visa expires on 11 June, and I’m really worried they won’t approve the DTV in time. Tomorrow is Sunday, and I can only hope for something on 9 or 10 June, but honestly I don’t think it will be processed that fast.

So I have a few questions:

1. Should I fly to another country and wait there for the result?

2. Can I do a border bounce and come back to Cambodia? If yes, which border do you recommend?

3. Is there any way to extend my Cambodia TR visa without leaving? If yes, please tell me how to do?

I’ve been crawling in my hotel room for nearly 30 days and the expenses are killing me 🤧.

Any advice or similar experience would really help 🙏 Thank you so much!

Approved Vientiane.

Get me out of this Horrible place.

I will write up the full details tomorrow.

Hello everyone,

I applied for the DTV visa in Jakarta on May 25, and today marks the 10th day since submission.

So far, I haven’t received any updates—no request for additional documents or communication of any kind.

I would like to ask:

Why might it be taking longer than expected?

How many more days should I expect to wait, approximately?

Has anyone received visa approval in early June already?

Thank you in advance for any information shared.

Do not apply DTV visa with the Embassy in Canberra…so slow

Hi Guys, normal ? it's been 4-5 working days (not including local national holidays) :/

Applied on May 4

Sent additional documents on May 26

Los Angeles Consulate website says it takes 5 business days to process additional documents. Today is the end of the 5th business day and I haven't heard anything. I sent an email yesterday but no response. Any advice on what to do? My departure date is June 9

Does anyone have any experience with processing times for a non-immigrant B visa at the Chicago consulate? I know the website says 15 business days, but was wondering how accurate that's been in people's experience. I am waiting on a letter from the HR for the Thai company I'm going to be working for. I plan on traveling on June 23rd (I haven't bought a ticket yet), and I am trying to figure out how close I might be cutting it.

Hello to the group,

I would like to know if it is still possible to apply to a non-immigrant O visa directly at the embassy (Kuala Lumpur for instance), or if the only way is to use the e-visa platform.

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks.
